Setting Product Return Time

For each product in the catalog, X-RMA enables you to specify a time period during which the product return is permitted. This feature also allows you to decide whether a product should be returnable or not.

To set the product return time for a product:

1. In the Admin area, use the Search for products section (Products menu->Search for products) to find the product that you want to set the product return time for.

2. In the Search result box, click on the product name to open the product for editing.

You'll be redirected to the product details page.

3. In the Product details box, scroll down until you see the text field Product return time (days):

4. Use the Product return time (days) text field to set up the time period (in days) during which a customer should be permitted to return the product.

Note: Setting the value to 0 (zero) will automatically make the product non-returnable, and your customers won't be able to request a return.

5. Click the Save button to apply the changes.
